If you have Fastlink, you can access your email from someone else's computer while you are traveling. You will be using the 1and1 website. You can print these instructions and carry them with you.

  1. Go to Google and type 1and1. Click on the first item on the list--1 and 1 Web Hosting--you will get the Home Page of 1and 1. Bookmark this page or add it to your Favorites.


  1. Click on Web Mail Login on the top right corner. Type in your email address and your password. (Be sure you know your correct password before you leave--ask Peggy if in doubt.)

  2. Click on Login or hit Enter on keyboard. You are now in your mailbox on the web. You can read your email and send a new email.

  3. You cannot access your regular address book from 1and1. You have options:

  4. You can create a short address book of your most important correspondents before you leave. Click on address book--New--Write name and address--be sure to click Save at top left of page.

  5. Or you can take with you on paper the important addresses.

  6. Or you can just use Reply to answer the email you receive.

  7. To send a new email using your address book, click on Address Book on the top bar, click on the address (not the name). Write your message and send.

  8. It is good to clean up your mailbox. Delete what you don't want. To empty trash, click Trash, click Folder on the bar above, click Empty.

ANOTHER WAY YOU COULD DO EMAIL WHILE TRAVELING, IS TO SET UP A YAHOO, HOTMAIL, GMAIL, OR AOL ACCOUNT JUST FOR TRAVELING, AND INFORM YOUR IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENTS OF THE ADDRESS.
